Although the country is largely secular, the holiday offers a perfect excuse for families to gather in the spring sunshine (hopefully), eat some herring, egg based delicies and of course sing songs while downing akvavit! Afterwards, egg rolling is likely to take place in the village and if the children are lucky - the 'Påskhare' (Easter bunny) might just pay a visit and hide large paper eggs filled with sweets. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But let's rewind. Before the big event, there's decorating to be done! The leaves haven't yet unfurled in Sweden, instead birch twigs are decorated with brightly coloured feathers or hung with decorative eggs. You might also see a witch on her broomstick in the window (Swedish legend has it that witches fly off to Blåkulla on Good Friday before returning on Påskafton (Easter Eve). And on Maundy Thursday, you might just receive a visit from a little witch with rosy cheeks and freckles, asking for sweets. You've been warned! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Whether you believe in witches or not, why not decorate your home and the table with some pretty Scandinavian inspired Easter touches.

I have always admired his talent and eye for design and have both of his lovely books on my shelf - <a href="https://www.urbanjunglebloggers.com/urbanjunglebook/" target="_blank">Urban Jungle</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.se/-/en/Igor-Josifovic/dp/1419740415" target="_blank">Plant Tribe</a>. I've also featured his <a href="https://www.myscandinavianhome.com/2018/04/igors-happy-plant-filled-space.html" target="_blank">past home</a> on My Scandinavian Home, so you might well recognise the name! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Igor recently moved into this beautiful flat in Berlin with his husband and the space has become the perfect haven for his studying (Igor recently returned to university to study Classical Archaeology and Art History.

Love it! Before we all head off, I just wanted to share one final snippet of Scandi inspiration with you in the form of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGx5GGIpuV/?hl=en&img_index=1" target="_blank">Beata Nison's</a> lovely country home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Beata is the founder of second hand boutique <a href="https://rebloom.se/" target="_blank">ReBloom</a> selling handpicked vintage treasures from around Sweden - evidence of which can also be spotted in her lovely country home (wicker 'frog' bin anyone?). But what also stands out to me from these corners are the pretty shades of blue, pink and ochre she's used and many of which she's mixed herself. Evidence that weaving in some hues can add so much depth and interest to a room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She has worked so hard to qualify (mornings before school and all) so there's no way we're going to miss it, even so it's taking place in Sundsvall, some 980 kilometres (600 miles) from Malmö! And then I realised something. It's only a short hop to Sweden's <a href="https://visitsweden.com/where-to-go/northern-sweden/angermanland/high-coast/" target="_blank">Höga kusten (High Coast)</a> in the Gulf of Bothnia - a world heritage site known for its archipelago and breathtaking scenery.

I hope you had a lovely weekend?

The Swedish TV presenter, fashion and interior stylist and author has such a lovely sense of style and anything that she turns her hand to turns to gold - in a way that's authentically Elsa. Hence why I have featured many of her homes in the past, including her <a href="https://www.myscandinavianhome.com/2022/10/elsas-inspiring-summer-cottage-on.html" target="_blank">Gotland summer cottage</a>, <a href="https://www.myscandinavianhome.com/2015/09/the-happy-swedish-home-of-elsa-billgren.html" target="_blank">previous colourful apartment</a> - and even <a href="https://www.myscandinavianhome.com/2021/11/the-vintage-inspired-stockholm-home-of.html" target="_blank">this one</a>! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">And then this weekend, I discovered that Elsa has put her Stockholm home on the market! There are three great things about this: 1) we get to admire every nook and cranny once again, 2) we get to peek around corners we might not have seen before and 3) it's available <a href="https://www.hemnet.se/bostad/lagenhet-2,5rum-sodermalm-mosebacke-stockholms-kommun-mosebacke-torg-14,-4-tr-21290961" target="_blank">to buy</a>! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This has proven to be true time and time again. And I think the same goes for home tours! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Per and I have been trying to find a way to cover the really ugly fuse box in the tiny hallway at the summer cottage. We were considering building a box around it - but the area is so tight and awkward. A curtain (like the one seen in Elsa's home) might just be the answer we've been looking for!!

As you know, I try to stick to my Scandi theme here on the blog. But every now and again I go rogue and show a far away place - albeit with a touch of Nordic style. Today is one of those days. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Photographer <a href="https://www.abbiemelle.com/" target="_blank">Abbie Melle</a> had the pleasure of capturing <a href="https://ourstays.lodgify.com/en/millingtons-house" target="_blank">Millingtons House</a> for it's owners - and found it so peaceful. She particularly favoured the spot in the window which is 'perfect for some reading with a hot tea'. Perhaps this is why this lovely getaway appealed to me so much today - it's been one very hectic week and if I lived nearer, I'd book it for the weekend in a heartbeat! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Located near the beach in Tasmania, the house dates back to 1925 and has recently gone through a big renovation. Today, the tones are inspired by the surrounding nature, and the decor is very much about finding a place to plonk yourself down and get comfy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Keep a look out for the checked ceiling and lovely window seat and imagine crawling under the covers for a cosy read!

Per, the girls and I went up over the weekend, and I was so happy to open the door to the room once again. I think something happens when you renovate a space yourself, do you agree? - you get a special connection with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A labour of love, we're really happy with the big changes we made, but when it comes down to daily life, what really makes the difference funnily enough, are the details!

When carrying out a renovation, it's often the small details such as a tap, cabinet handles and utensils in a kitchen or the door handle and light switches in a bedroom that make all the difference and elevate the space. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBO4ja_gTyF1yYVhvTJVjTb1yzQ_6gUvQiphM8jv_WyuhBG_fe9CXJeHJ85IQlo0XL6lsg396KrPjOyzR0KDZ14-W-nPPglGO23lLBFNmGytiJlmBTf2QwWrd1Ux3QRl9mxmc___4RpN-IJ9_gL64bLHCoHS_LSbr7PLicrm1w4HtCIs9f2X5vHeOuS4A/s750/Corston%20summer%20cottage%20bedroom-6.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBO4ja_gTyF1yYVhvTJVjTb1yzQ_6gUvQiphM8jv_WyuhBG_fe9CXJeHJ85IQlo0XL6lsg396KrPjOyzR0KDZ14-W-nPPglGO23lLBFNmGytiJlmBTf2QwWrd1Ux3QRl9mxmc___4RpN-IJ9_gL64bLHCoHS_LSbr7PLicrm1w4HtCIs9f2X5vHeOuS4A/s16000/Corston%20summer%20cottage%20bedroom-6.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In this renovation, we picked out the details from <a href="https://eu.corston.com/" target="_blank">Corston architectural details</a>, a UK based company selling throughout Europe. Their collection includes premium switches, sockets, hardware and lighting in antique brass, polished nickel and brass, all designed to elevate a room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the bedroom, I was weary that the first thing you touch when you enter a room is the door handle - so I picked out the sprung <a href="https://eu.corston.com/products/digby-sprung-door-handle-bronze" target="_blank">Digby Bronze door handle</a> with a traditional look and feel to match the style of the cottage. Dark bronze is a popular material in Swedish summer cottages and country homes and is often seen on door handles and curtain rods.

The home belonged to Mattias and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carolinastorm/" target="_blank">Carolina Storm</a>. The couple have since moved (a little birdie tells this was their third apartment in four years!). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Perhaps this information makes me even more intrigued, since the space looks so nicely 'complete' - which is impressive in a short amount of time. I mean, we've lived in our home for 16 years, and I'm still trying to figure out what to put on some of the walls. Are you the same? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not only that, but it's beautiful too, with every room in perfect harmony. The colour scheme is similar to <a href="https://www.myscandinavianhome.com/2024/02/leanne-fords-beautiful-white-guest.html" target="_blank">Leanne's cottage which I showed on Wednesday</a> - but the look is very different in terms of architecture ad furniture. Here, we witness round organic shapes juxtaposed with triangular forms, fluffy rugs layered with texture and furniture from different eras. Art and mirrors also play an important role - with their 'barely there feel', yet at the same time adding interest at every turn. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;">Trends come and go - and to be honest it can be hard to keep up. The good news is that the talk in the industry right now is very much about filling your home with things you love and that make you happy, no matter how eclectic. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Personally, I find it hard to settle on just one looks - and I'm often pulled in different directions based on what I've seen and feel inspired by. As a result, I always admire people who have a distinct signature style. American interior designer and TV personality extraordinaire <a href="https://www.leanneford.com/" target="_blank">Leanne Ford</a> has a penchant for milky tones - and even when the interior fashion pack are starting to sprinkle their home with colour, Leanne has stuck hard and fast to the look she loves.

I hope you had an <i>'underbar'</i> weekend! It dawned on me that I've shown quite a few bigger homes recently, yet homes come in all shapes and sizes. And in this case, angles! So if you've come here looking for loft spaces with low ceilings or compact open-space living ideas, this one's for you! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In this top floor apartment in Gothenburg, the designer has decided to create one large open space rather than a series of smaller rooms to ensure the light gets into every last corner. Mirrors also help to accentuate the light, while an earthy, neutral colour scheme ensures a serene, cohesive look that's looks as cosy as it is comfortable! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When you live on the top floor of an apartment block, nature can feel very far away. So, I also love how an array of simple branches have been brought in to connect the space with the great outdoors. Loft living at it's finest! Enjoy the tour! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsMz5BeHDSUKmeMdHfmrpnornfLgeMBGmFkyw9-3KE1kgDwWU6901lYJr8YHgwHGijs2fj_vQq4tvRfTgp6D5ztqoY2ibh9RIzqJWMpSyRBk-a-nuvMO9nBXmFl004yKdQw6Z8YjtRFm7-u3qWqUrg94QgyIlBccSF9f45-BNh2hyphenhyphenB8QH84LFdMNjRv6g/s750/small%20space%20living%20sweden3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

Indeed, I even included some tips in my <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/njuta-niki-brantmark?variant=41323727749154" target="_blank">Njuta book</a>*. But there gets to a stage when you notice a small crack in the veneer of even the most hardy Vikings. And with several months of winter left to go, that's around now! So, forgive me while I dream of far away places in sunnier climes today! </p><p>I'm taking us on a journey to <a href="https://www.dunmorefarm.com.au/" target="_blank">Dunmore Farm</a> - a charming rustic retreat on a 150-acre working farm nestled away in the heart of North east Victoria, Australia. Dunmore cottage was built in 1860 using red gum sourced on site - making it one of the oldest houses in the district! Owners Angus and Bec Macdougall, saw it's potential as a peaceful getaway and carried out a considered year-long restoration to seamlessly blend old world charm with modern amenities. </p><p>I could quite happily spend a week or two here luxuriating in a hot bath, cosying up by the fire or simply relaxing and looking out over the fields (word has it that there is some fresh seasonal produce to be sourced from growers all around the region if you love cooking!).

In my experience, it's quite rare to get mosquitoes and other pesky creepy crawlies south of Stockholm - although they can be a bit of a nuisance around sunset in the height of summer. That's why you'll rarely see screen doors and windows in these properties. However there can be quite a few mozzies in the North, where they are attracted by the many lakes.

I hope you had a lovely weekend! It's the school half-term this week here, and although my family and I have stayed put in a very grey and dreary Malmö, my Facebook feed is <i>flooded</i> with scenes from the Alps as southern swedes share their holiday snaps (not jealous at all.... <i>ahem</i>)! It therefore made sense for me to pay a virtual visit today with this sunny apartment in Geneva, Switzerland. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Owner <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sonnenetage/?hl=en" target="_blank">Imke </a>and her partner have worked hard to ensure their 72 m2 (785 ft2) rental apartment in a building dating back to 1909 is as cosy and unique as can be. While they have kept to a muted and earthy colour scheme, the furniture is an eclectic blend of styles which include French bistro style chairs, a Scandinavian design table, vintage treasures as well as the occasional high street find (you might be surprised to learn the overhead lamp in the sitting room is from <a href="https://www2.hm.com/sv_fi/home.html" target="_blank">H&M Home</a> - what a find!). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

And then I read the blurb: 'an English townhouse' built in 1909 and designed by Victor Bodin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Needless to say, I've seen quite a few two-up, two-down formats like this in my childhood in London. But this is different. It has a distinct Scandinavian twist! Firstly, the wall between the kitchen and sitting room has been removed creating an airy open-space and secondly the decor is undeniably Swedish. It's also very unique. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Think botanical wallpapers, scalloped edged rugs (I want one!), a vibrant gallery wall, candy stripes, pops of cherry red and a mix of antiques and modern day finds.

And then he dropped the bomb shell - after 20 years, he'd moved to a new apartment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Naturally, I was straight on the case, and this morning these beautiful images shot of Saša's home by <a href="https://www.stellanherner.se/" target="_blank">Stellan Herner</a> fell into my inbox.

We love heading up there as often as we can, but this winter we had the perfect excuse: it was time to renovate the master bedroom in the main house! There was nothing wrong with the room per se, it just hasn't been touched for several decades and needed a major freshening up. But you know me, I can't really do things by halves, and this was definitely a case of 'in for a penny, in for a pound!'</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I find winter is the perfect time for decorating - do you agree?

Allow me to whisk you away to depths of the Swedish forests, and this fairytale getaway! Nestled by a lake in the southern Sweden wilderness, <i><a href="https://urnatur.se/en/" target="_blank">Urnatur</a></i>, meaning 'primeval nature' is the brainchild of forester Håkan Strotz and forest biologist and edible plants expert Ulrika Krynitz. The pair are passionate about ethnobiology and the interaction between man and nature and wanted others to experience an eco-retreat where you can get away from it all and go back-to-basics. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Made up of an off-the-grid treehouse and a series of cabins built by Håkan and decorated by Ulrika, Urnatur invites guests to stay on Sjögetorp and Renemo farms and make the most of everything the surrounding nature has to offer. Sleep in the trees or snuggle up in a cosy log cabin before taking to the lake in a kayak, foraging for berries and other delicacies or cooking supper over an open fire. You might also want to explore the farm shop for lovely local wares too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHHgQp-U1Bp7To3cgCFV09t0_XjFmZersuG0fabesWWhXc_gehdY4bOxQMQ5iTVA1w-vbJuBv7PZwRxRW2dumdOx049ePmG8WP7JlX4Vv0Wgbimb31ZhhQElzk_-U1XX3XQnMwiPk7xFCijVwgW_nTy1QD89Ka0WHiHTmg0cr2FtAfItXSe6mclXPBqnQ/s750/urnatur%20swedish%20rustic%20cabin%20stay-10.jpg" style="clear: left;
